School Health Certificate Modernization Amendment Act of 2026

This bill requires the District of Columbia Department of Health to create a digital system for submitting student health and dental certificates while banning healthcare providers from charging fees for these forms. It directly affects families of students in public and private schools by eliminating the current financial and logistical burden of obtaining and submitting paper forms, as well as reducing the risk of lost documentation. Additionally, the legislation mandates a new tiered fee structure for health professional licensing that aligns costs with the education level required for each profession. These changes aim to modernize the registration process and encourage more entry-level health workers to practice in the District.
